Small Kings 04:07
when ground shakes that's all it takes to lose this town, so i draw up to you of the many of us who display a certain fuss: over whether or not you can be more than a... small king and we take away from our world when it's never ours to take ride it out as halter breaks; ride it away on your stakes you're a local in a tourist town she's a handful all the way around and as frugal as any man you always take what you can and i eat with my eyes when i'm hypoglycemic my body shakes even though i know you can't read it quarters turn over moons and i begin to fix that affection of fooling around with you (what a dream) we all want to be: small kings we all want to be: tall we all want to ride on our dreams when we bend and you flip wit's laid on awfully thick; it's hard doing time as a small king but i give and i take which is more than i'd ever make in a fake world as a real king we ride out from dreams made for small... kings

does she make you feel handsome hips are wide as she strides come on, float this pride boy make it sing you give and you take and you've made your mistakes it's the benefit of keeping near all those things you'd love... love to leave behind, that you'd love to leave behind get out and feel what there is... (and isn't) find that there's a place outside your mind does he make you feel a little crazy fanatic or wild polarized by some manliness you find; seek like freaks magnetic words shaped by mine throw off these lines your ship is wasting precious time we'll we've made our mistakes but we still give and we take it's the benefit of keeping near all those things we love... love to leave behind, that we'd love to leave behind get out and feel what there is... (and isn't) find that there's a place outside your mind (love to leave behind... that we'd love to leave behind)

Put Out 02:21
you've been put out you've been put up with; you put out all the same it's these doubts, doubts that are to blame if feelings go there's no sense in shame and that's how how we, change you've been stood up you've been stood up to yet you stand out all the while it's this fist inside the glove that holds the fire if you're not your mind your mind's made up with change, yeah with, change you move on in and i move out with all sense of time like snow we fall but melt like ice in the morning sun it's alright, we're alright you've been put out you've been put up with; you put out all the same it's these doubts, doubts that are to blame you bring home styles to build that frame and that's how how we, change
